Book Cover & Preview Text
I could not alter events, only accept their existence. Connor was gone and taken all my tomorrows with him. How was I supposed to continue to live? Was it possible for a person to die from a broken heart? If so, I would welcome it. Despair gripped me in a cloud of disbelief. “Why did you leave me? You told me you'd love me forever. Why did you lie to me?” The words screamed through my mind until the excruciating reality of loss slipped in a place beyond thought. Staring into the space that had been my bedroom these past two years, I noticed the suitcases packed days before in preparation for my flight to New York. I recalled the exhilaration, tinged with uncertainty and apprehension I'd felt about my future at the time; a future I would share with Connor. It didn't matter anymore. I promised dad I would be okay, but knew it was no longer possible. I would never be okay, He sacrificed so much to put me through college. My determination to be a Broadway actress hadn't diminished, but the passion I once felt had faded. Connor wasn't going to be with me.
